Sorry I know this chapter isn't very eventful but I promise the next one will be :)

Chapter 6 – Questions

Later that night, when I was sitting on the window sill, I noticed that the moon was unusually large tonight.

"Manny?" I whispered as the lights in the dorm started to go out. I looked around, making sure the other students where asleep before quietly opening the window and slipping outside. I hovered there for a few moments, the wind whipping through my loose pyjamas. I looked down at the lake below my feet, noticing that something big was swimming around in it. I flew down a bit lower, trying to get a better look when a giant squid emerged from below the water. It shocked me so much that I temporarily lost my flight and started to fall. I regained my balance just before I hit the water and flew up and on to the roof.

"What the hell was that?" I said to my self as I peered over the edge of the roof. I saw the giant squid dive back into the lake as I folded my knees into me and looked up at the man in the moon.

"This is so hard. I don't know what to do next, can you please just help me one more time?" I pleaded but of course I got no reply. I sighed then got my wand out, waving it slightly above my head. Delicate little snow flakes started to fall around me, melting as they landed on the roof. I sat there all night, staring at the moon and watching the stars with the comfort of snow falling around me.

The next morning I joined Hiccup, Rapunzel and Merida in the library for a study session we had arranged. As I walked towards the table they where sitting at I could see them whispering to each other which suddenly stopped as I sat down. Where they talking about me?

"Jack, I think we need to talk." Rapunzel said as she looked at the others.

"Okay, what about?" I knew my behavior was a little odd sometimes but I had a good reason, a reason I couldn't tell them about.

"We just want to ask you a few questions." Hiccup looked unsure, like he was scared about what I would say.

"Erm okay, go ahead." They all looked at each other then Merida looked at me.

"Okay, firstly, how come you never eat? We never see you in the hall for meals." Oh god, I really should have tried harder to act like them but some things just felt too weird.

"Oh erm, I can only eat certain foods, which are sent to me so I just eat in the common room." That was plausible right?

"Do you have Diabetes or something?"

"Or something." I replied, trying to imply that I didn't want to talk about it.

"So how about sleeping huh?" Merida asked quite suddenly.

"Yeah, some of the other Slytherins have told us that you never sleep and Hiccup saw you up on the roof last night." Rapunzel asked, gesturing to Hiccup. He had saw me!? Oh no this was bad.

"I suffer from really bad Insomnia." I shrugged as I started to fiddle with the book in front me.

"That still doesn't explain how you got on to the roof." Hiccup questioned, pointing a finger at me.

"I climbed, I used to do rock climbing before I came to the school." They all looked at me skeptically then shrugged. I had a feeling they still didn't believe me but I couldn't exactly tell them the truth.

"Is that all?" I asked slightly annoyed. Rapunzel nodded then went back to reading the book in front of her, as well as the others. We sat there for a while in silence before I had an idea.

"Erm guys, do any of you believe in the Boogie man?" If they didn't believe then they couldn't be harmed.

"Of course we do." Said Merida. "Everyone here does, muggles just write him off as a bad dream but we know he's real." Added Hiccup. Are you kidding me? Are you actually serious? That'll be why the witch brought him back here but why hasn't he done anything yet. Just as I was thinking about it, one of the professors came running in.

"Mr. Frost! You need to follow me, now!" He seemed very out of breath and gave me wide eyes that told me he knew who I was and something bad had happened. I looked at the rest of the group quickly before getting up and running after the teacher. Babytooth had came out of my hood and was now flying along side me. She looked at me and chirped.

"I don't know." I said, understanding that she wanted to know what was going on. The teacher lead me down a corridor that I didn't recognize to a group of professors that had crowded around something. As we got closer the teachers all started turning around and I noticed that the headmaster was there as well.

"I found him." The teacher I was following gestured to me as I caught up to them.

"Whats wrong?" I said with a pant. They moved aside so I could see what they where looking at. A pile of black sand covered the floor and spread up the wall. I bent down and felt it between my fingers. It was defiantly Pitch's sand.

"Whats the boy doing here?" I heard a voice behind me ask. I turned to see it was my Defense against the Dark Arts teacher. She was an old women with black curly hair that went down to her shoulders.

"This is Jack Frost, Professor Gothel." Gothel? Was she related to Rapunzel? "He's here on a mission that will help the students. Something dark is hiding in the castle and Jack is here to help us." The headmaster started to explain.

"Wait, so he's not actually a wizard?" The teacher seemed very shocked by this, I thought everyone had been told but obviously not everyone. I stood back up and faced her.

"No, I'm a Guardian." I felt very proud as I said that. The teacher looked at me then nodded slowly, like she was judging me.

"We're trying our hardest to help Jack blend in with the other students and now that you know of his true identity, it would be appreciated if you could help him as well." She looked me up and down again.

"I'll see what I can do." She said as she walked away down the corridor.

"What exactly happened here?" I asked as I turned towards the headmaster.

"One of the first years said she saw a shadow before the corridor was filled with this black sand."

"Is she okay?!"

"Yes, the student is fine, she's in your house I believe, Emma Ward." I knew Emma, she was the only one in my house that didn't completely ignore me, I needed to talk to her.

"Thank you for telling me about this, I'll have a further look tonight." I said politely as I slipped away.

"Wait, Jack, Professor White wishes to see you." Professor White was my flying teacher. I nodded as I started to walk back down the corridor towards Professor Whites office. I'd see what the Professor wanted then go talk to Emma.

I knocked on Professor Whites door then slowly opened it as she welcomed me in.

"You wanted to see me?" I said as I slumped down in the seat.

"Yes Jack, It was very heroic of you to save Richard the other day during our lesson."

"Well I wasn't going to let him fall, professor. Is he okay?" It was something that I didn't have to think about, I felt like it was my responsibility.

"Yes, he's fine. I must say Jack, you are an amazing flyer. I haven't seen anyone with those kind of skills."

"Well, erm, thanks."

"In fact, I would really like you to join the Slytherins Quidditch team."

"Quidditch?" I had heard of the sport in the common room but didn't fully understand the rules. All I knew was that it involved flying after a ball or something.

"Yes, I think you'd make an excellent seeker. I can see by your face that you don't fully understand the game. Don't worry though, I have arranged for the team captain to talk to you." As she said it, there was a knock on the door.

"Ahh, here he is." The door slowly opened as a tall boy from my house walked in, I recognized him but didn't know his name.

"Jack, this is Ryan Cross, Captain of Slytherin Quidditch team." She gestured over to him as I stood up. "Ryan, this is Jack Frost, your new seeker." He walked over to me and shook my hand.

"I've heard a lot about you Frost." I doubt any of it good. "Welcome to the team." He let go of my hand then looked at me oddly.

"It must be chilly in here, your hands are freezing." I really shouldn't let people touch me but I couldn't exactly deny a handshake. I laughed it off as he lead me to the Quidditch field to meet the rest of the team. I recognized a couple of them but they where all in different years so I was the only first year there. Babytooth was still hiding in the hood of my robes and squirmed as everyone started patting me on the back, welcoming me to the team.

"Alright Frost, time to see what you've got." He threw a broom to me as he started opening a trunk. As he was distracted I did the same thing to this broom as I had to the other one. He stood back up holding a little golden ball.

"This, is a snitch. Its your job to catch it."

"Well that shouldn't be too hard." He smiled at me as the snitch suddenly sprouted wings and starting flashing around the field. It was so fast but I could do it. I watched it fly for a moment before I heard Ryan speak.

"Well what are you waiting for? Go get it!" I mounted the broom as fast I could and flew off after it. Yeah it was quick but I was just as fast with the wind pushing me through the air. It was a matter of seconds before I'd caught up with it. It was too high for me to reach so once again I slowly stood up on the broom, careful not to loose my balance before reaching out and grabbing it. Once I had a firm grasp on the snitch and safely sat back down on the broom, I swiftly flew back down to the rest of the team who where excitedly waiting for me, as I landed they all came rushing over to me.

"Wow that was amazing, Jack!" A few of them where saying. Ryan came over to me, putting his hand on my shoulder.

"You're a pretty amazing flyer, Frost. Now all you need is your own broom and you're set to go. Your Quidditch uniform will be in your dorm tomorrow morning." With that the team walked back into the school, leaving me alone on the field. I was just about to follow them when I could see three people running up to me in the corner of my eye. I turned around to see Rapunzel, Merida and Hiccup all running up to me.

"That was amazing Jack! You where so fast!" I'd had plenty of races with Bunny so I knew how fast I was but hearing it from Rapunzel gave me butterflies. I laughed with them as we walked back to the school.

"So, what did the Professor want?" Hiccup asked as we got closer to the entrance. He was talking about back at the library.

"Oh, it was just about joining the Quidditch team."

"Oh Jack, I'm so excited for you!" Rapunzel had a sudden burst of energy as she jumped on me, tangling me in a hug.

"Ha ha, thanks Punzie." I smiled at her as she lifted her head to look at me. Her eyes where so beautiful and I couldn't help but stare in to them, they where so entrancing.

I heard Hiccup clear his throat behind me which snapped me out of my trance. I quickly stepped back from Rapunzel as she did the same, embarrassed by how close we where. We all laughed together as we separated I went to my dorm as the others went to the hall for dinner. I still needed to ask Emma questions but I could do that tomorrow. I sneaked out the window next to my bed as everyone was at dinner and sat on the roof.

"Babytooth." She came flying out after me and hovered in front of my face.

"I need you to fly back to the pole and tell them I need a broom, one that responds to me like my staff." She quickly nodded as she started to fly off. I saluted to her as she glanced back at me. I was still trying to figure out why everyone could see her until I remembered that she'd come with me to see Jamie. She enjoyed spending time with him just as much as I did. When the man in the moon made me visible she must have still been in my hood so it worked on her to. I sighed then went back inside. Sitting on my bed I took off my robes and looked down at my shirt. I was getting sick of my clothes frosting so quickly. They started of fine but by the end of the day the edges would be white with ice. I pulled the white shirt over my head and walked over to full sized mirror in the corner of the room. I was so pale compared to all the other students. How had they not realized I wasn't one of them? The dark grey trousers looked black against my skin. I looked like a ghost. Which in theory I was. I walked back over to my bed after a few minutes and pulled a new shirt on. I sat there for a while, looking through my suit case, inspecting all the human things that North had packed for me. I found a red toothbrush in one of the compartments, which once again, I didn't need. Like Tooth always said, my teeth sparkled like freshly fallen snow. It made me laugh to myself thinking about how much Tooth loved my teeth. I then found my digital camera hidden among the clothes that the guys had bought me as a present. I started flicking through the photos that where on it. There was random ones of me and the rest of the group. Probably from when I first got it. Then I found some of pranks that I'd pulled on Bunny like freezing the floor or making it snow in the Warren. Seeing all these photo's made me smile. Maybe I should start using it again, I should try and get some photo's of my new friends considering that as soon as Pitch was dealt with, I'd be leaving. It seemed like a good idea so I slipped the camera in my robe pocket as the reset of the house started to arrive in the common room. I started my investigation once again.

I might actually be uploading the next chapter today, depends on how fast I right it, and how long I stay up :)
